The ancient forest
the ancient forest seemed to have another peaceful evening as far as it could be for the monsters in the world they lived in the aptonoths had not suffered too much they lost 3 or 4 members today but it was better than what usually happens but that's nothing new to their way of life, the jagras Tobi's and pukeis had wonderful meals today and an uneventful day which as far as the various beasts were concerned that was just fine and preferred it as such certainly better than being bullied by the false winged tyrant and its invasive electric cousin the shadowy demon or the sovereigns of the sky the usual ones they are tormented by, but lifestream forbid its the thunderous beast, the erupting scavenger or even worse the perpetual glutton and the black veiled death but today was the calmest they've had by far.
it was the evening and for a majority of male anjanaths it was time to rest one of these males were preparing their tree caverns for sleep after patrolling the territories they maintained to attract the nomadic females but no such luck today. However, it was nice to have not to fight the other creatures that challenge its rule such as that cowardly shade or its damnable cousin or its foul rival in the sky but today was fine for the most part it got to eat some lesser yellow glutton so that was nice. However, still, it wasn't very reassuring to not have mated today but it was better than nothing the male entered his cavern to rest his eyes.
A nargacuga was stalking the forest on the ground for any young herbivores it could sink its teeth into stalking and jumping between the branches of the ancient forest to hopefully feast on something worthwhile it feasted on some parts of an aptonoth before the red drake of the sky snatched it and one unlucky egg thief but that was taken by the foul brute and feasted on some cowardly yellow pests but it was hoping for a real meal in the form of one of the great yellow glutton's at the most or the hard-headed packs at the least.
as the assassin was doing that the sovereigns of the sky the rathalos and rathian pair were prepared to sleep in shifts as they've done every night since they've met the rathian having chased off an egg taker and the rathalos having returned from his daily patrol around his domain while also checking his other rathian partners if for nothing else than to see if they were doing fine the rathian he was bonded with couldn't care less for her failed rivals because as far as she was concerned she was the one that won and bonded with him not them but she was aware of his acts its an assurance in case she dies all raths were aware they do this as this is what they've done for countless winters as there mothers and fathers and there mothers and fathers. the rathian decided to take the first watch as her mate settled in for rest.
Deep on the forest floor a zinogre skulked carrying an aptonoth within its clutches to feed itself but was carrying it to the breeding grounds of the fulger bugs to continue its protection for its symbiosis to guarantee the power it needs for any fights it gets into.
The Wildspire Waste
Deep within the lively desert of the wild spire waste, the barroth of the wildspire's mudflats had settled down to rest and sleep after a long day in his wonderous flats after fighting and chasing out the spiteful jyuratodus who wished to keep it for itself spitefully. Still, it didn't succeed though it was painful having a bone-crushing bite tear into his armor plate ridges where his neck resides it didn't touch his skin so thankfully some good-ish things came out of that messy encounter but overall not too dangerous to its way of life as the barroth settled into the mud it called its own alongside the apceros which it liked and the occasional kelbi that drink from it.
nearby a jyuratodus was angry it couldn't kick out the local barroth and would have to endure sharing the water it's entirely dependant on though as of now it was resting after taking some injuries from its rival for the waters.
A nightshade paolumo was carrying its catch of a female kestodon it killed in its gas-induced sleep for a nice meal it had to sneak up for though it made it a point to eat in the forest oasis that acts like a border to the ancient forest in part too small for the local Rathian to fit through though it knew it would have to eat fast in case a feathered brute came to take it, it was worth the risk in its opinion at least it wouldn't be eating kelbi for dinner tonight.
near the forest oasis, an infamous thief of eggs was tiredly making its way to its nest to rest after a day of not getting caught and killed and running for its life, deep in the sands under the spires made by rat-sized ants and mites the diablos was leaving its burrow after sleeping during the day to wait out the scorching sun and desert winds.
nearby a glavenus was using the ore he had feasted on as material and slag for his tail the best iron and little bits of steal for his blade to attract a female this current mating season making sure it was long thick wide and durable but still flexible as well as tapered in a proper edge on the blade as well as astheticly pleasing with the irons blue color (iron is blue in monster hunter) he was also making sure he had no disturbances to ensure success. flying high above the clouds was a well-known and somewhat hated but feared face of the New World the b-52 fuck you ahem I mean bazelgeuse having devoured an apceros corpse near the water's edge of the wildspires mire's of the barroth.
deeper in the most forsaken areas of the desert forgotten and abandoned by the residents of the waste due to the sheer heat caused by the power of two eldars feared by all but few monsters with good reason for as far as many monsters were concerned they were gods in all but name making a nest within the waste to raise a clutch teostra and lunastra the male having carved the very earth with his very claws for the satisfaction of his queen.
The Coral Highlands
a tzitzi ya-ku was resting within her burrow in the crags of the lower levels of the highlands healing some minor injuries as it had its fill of raphinos though admittedly it had angered the local paolumo when it crashed into the ground while it was eating coral eggs with the raphinos and a coral pukei pukei when it had arrived to drink water from the sponge fan at the same time as it released its flash needless to say it spent the rest of the day running for its life dodging air and water respectfully from the angered wyverns as they both chased her through the highlands much to the humor of the two monarchs that reined there.
a pink rathian and a legiana both of whom ate unfortunate members of the latter two while contesting each other for the corals the highlight for rathian was being visited by a blue rathalos and having fun before he left for the legiana it was tossing an odogaron back down to the depths of the rotten vale plummeting with panic much to its delight. though its mood was ruined when it was flying and spotted its ebony cousin skulking the coral trees dragging an unfortunate paolumo with it.
nearby by the great cliffs of the highlands, a mystical well-known elder known as a kirin gazed upon the starry night sky with slight wonder yet content satisfaction with the beauty of the cosmos it could gaze at before turning to continue its nomadic walk, deep below where the sponge fans was a namielle walking along the sponges having rested well and nearly enjoying the breeze of the cold lands.
the Rotten Vale
within the vale's rotted depths a marauding band of girros were running to the nest after just successfully stealing the fresh corpse of a legiana from one of the food storages of a tigrex and were running far before the beast could realize what happened they were going to celebrate with this great fresh bountiful feast the great girros having planned this over two hours thinking of both the risk but high reward if they pulled it off a radobaan was sleeping within its bone pile thankful it had avoided the local acid glavenus and outran it or rather out rolled it same difference.
within the lower levels an odogaron was skulking back to its burrow angered and deeply unsatisfied by its day given it had to fight off a brutish blade and an angry wyvern for a fresh corpse and lost although odogaron can hold its own against apex predators and the local elder dragon against brutish foes with just as much anger and belligerence like the acidic glavenus and tigrex it wasn't enough, after all, it was a creature of speed dexterity and mobility, not durability and strength combined with its poor eyesight against the acidic blades intelligence and the brutish wyverns scream's that harmed its ears.
with the blade and claws of the other two caused it to lose out on the fresh corpse although it was a scavenger like many of the inhabitants of the vale that does not mean they settle for just any random dried-out near mummified corpse there animals that have a preference and the fresher the corpse the better the meal though miffed it thought of nearly traveling to the highlands where the other two can't follow that didn't get it anything as a legiana made it fall back to its depths after almost catching something.
further down the levels the acidic glavenus was feasting on its reward having defeated and nearly permanently injured a rival for the great feast it fought for though later it was going to make sure it shaved down the acidic crystals it built up during the fight after all there not needed now they served there porpuse they'll make it easy to resharpen the tail for its not something it likes to keep around for much.
in the higher levels, a tigrex stomped back to its perch filled with hatred at having lost against the smarter more combat-suited wyvern bleeding profusely from its new battle scar starting from the back of its nostril down the left side of its snout to half an inch below its left eye to the bottom left of its jaw when it tried to dodge mid slice and what's worse when it passed by one of its caches to feast on that instead it found it empty it proceeded to throw and destroy what was around it in a fit of rage and hate but ultimately angered by its bad day.
in the deepest depths of the vale itself, the local elder dragon was slumbering within its nest of rotted corpses and effluvium having its fill of the day of the poison the effluvium had on the vale and reattaching more skin to hold its favored meal close by its day ultimately uneventful much as it preferred.
the Elder Recess
within the crystalized lava-filled lands of the elder's recess beneath the surface buried under rubble and hiding for dear life was a poor dodogama as if it was asleep but was actually trying to blend in to not attract the devastation going on outside afraid of the demons waging war outside.
a lavasioth deep within the lava was being disturbed and agitated by the fighting of two of the most dangerous monsters of the lands it knew it was safe in the lava yet it couldn't help but be a little worried for its safety.
a brachydios was hiding within the volcano hiding among the lava-filled cavern using its great fist and horns to bash explode and clear out rubble to hide from the destruction being caused by the great titans fighting in the lands, atop the cliffs a seething bomber watched with interest at the battle taking place for dominance and pride though in its younger years it would've happily joined the battle it has long since cooled its temper and learned to choose its battles for a good meal though that didn't stop it watching for entertainment.
an uragaan was rolling as far as its body could roll despite its voilant injury having by the skin of its teeth escaped certain death from the jaws of the world eater itself as it escaped it purposely rammed into the thunderous ape it spotted while it was rolling and made a quick decision by bolling it over when it got up the world eater caught up with its previous location the ape hearing the footsteps turned faced the great devourer believing it to be responsible for its embarrassment and so they clashed.
atop the highest perch higher than the seething bomber an elder watched the fight annoyed that it would most likely miss out on sleep tonight.
the hoarfrost reach
within the lively eternal tundra of the hoarfrost a beotodus was being wrestled out of the snow by a fulger anjanath as it flailed helplessly biting and clawing with its feet trying to dislodge the hulkish brute of the forest through the lightning that would come from the soon be predator will ensure its easy capture but it made sure it would try to be fast as It didn't feel like fighting the screeching legiana or the tusked white knight for its soon to be meal nearby the local banbaro and popo ate there preferred meal uncaring after all it wasn't them being hunted today though the popo staying close to the behemoth much to its confusion as unbeknownst to the great beast it was an instinct honed over thousands of generations from staying close to another larger stronger more caring guardian.
Deep with the warm caverns a viper tobi kadachi had its fill of popo and was resting its cold body near the vents from it not being built for the snow, the screeching legiana near the high cliffs was guarding the nests of the other legiana that roosted here as its ancestors have done for generations before its birth with pride and below the cliffs a barioth was resting its weary body from the day.
throughout the world actions like this were going around nature at its peaceful stressful dangerous wonderous calm and hazardous game of slow change, a great tusked protector was guarding its herd a mountainous rocked beast was living calmly among the lava-filled caverns and a great serpent was sleeping within its mountain home and arachnid esque creatures feasted happily a great terror of the deep with notorious thighs stalked the waters a lot of sand swimming sharks ate unimpeded and a one-horned great beast has slain another foolish challenger it was as it should be, ... and yet something changed something that was not meant to be it started slowly yet steadily.
then violently the sky changed to a sickly purple with flashes of yellowish-white light sparking in the sky with aqua clouds like the sea and various other colors in a kaleidoscope of various appearances, lightning struck out from the sky the change was so sudden, loud and caught much attention, as if something or multiple was reaching for this world for corruption or change for its own various benefits's purple light seemed to try and resonate within any monster that was awoken or watching trying to coax them all to connect with them like a command to submit and welcome it monsters of the sea being seemingly silently coaxed by some silent song from the blue azure clouds monsters of the desert having there attention grasped by some strange sand like clouds and various others all being silently having their attention as if trying to command them in a silent spell to serve though initially uneasy slowly became calm docile, but not the elder dragons or the strongest of monsters they were not welcoming
and the bright light seemed without anyone realizing trying to do the same, but just as suddenly it began something seemed to respond from their world as if it was a body responding to diseases and invasive parasites coming from the wound of reality treating the invading forces like foul trespassers, making sure the message from the world was clear They Were NOT welcome.
red lightning as red as blood with clouds darker than any of akantors scales seemed to manifest striking out and seemingly trying to choke the sky itself in its smog of darkness the lightning flashed and without warning its wrath was laid bare its powerful roar with a continuous blow to the various clouds and strange lights and within that moment the silent songs and strings trying to grasp life to chain and command to its various wills were severed ending in what sounded like reality's distorted scream's of agony and the minds of monsters seemingly freed from a silent spell began to be hostile to this unnatural phenomenon upon realizing its foul nature, within the dark smog and red lightning a blinding white light of might and life flowed life a river and also seemed to crash among the lights as well unbeknownst to all was the power of the everstream the life energy of the world striking the invasive filth that would dare sully its children and crafted beauty.
in cavernous shelters, jagras and their great ones screeched from their burrows tobi's and pukeis were fearful in their respectful levels cracking lightning and poison nargas hiding in the shadows watching this unnatural storm spikes at the ready anjanaths were roaring or biting ready to fight an unseen enemy rath's were flying or barring their flames zinogres having their power at the max as the fulger bugs felt nothing but threatened by this storm giving there all to empower their host
within the wild spires barroths wildly swung there heads and tails within their mudflats and flinging said mud, jyuratodus wildly flailed and sprayed water caked in mud and mucus apceros formed defensive circles nightshades hid within the crevices and trees of the desert sleep gas slowly seeping out with audible growls, kulu ya-kus tossed boulders, mindlessly, diablos wildly charged and roared after bursting from the ground. glavenus swung their blades and snapped their jaws with molten slag ready to toss.
at the coral highlands tzitzi ya-ku's screeched and flashed there flash bangs at the sky disunified causing random flashes of light to decorate the highlands coral pukeis sprayed their water indiscriminately paolumos shot wind randomly pink rathians fired their blasts of fire at whatever flashed the sky legianas flew randomly and shot ice where they could freezing any unfortunate to be there
Deep within the vale the girros screeched and hissed at the sky and each other radobaan rolled and crashed into everything and anything unfortunate to be in their way splashing tar and bone as they did odogaron's screeched and jumped and clawed at anything that moved or didn't acidic glavenus's were slinging acid crystals and bones in the area everywhere tigrex's were barreling through everything in there path and tossing anything not stuck to the ground the vale being drowned by its notorious roars.
within recess, things were even worse than before the dodogamas slung molten metal without regard within the volcano the plesioth's rose from the lava splashing and throwing what was on them and around them everywhere uragaans were rolling and crushing everything throughout the lands brachydios were blowing everything to smithereens and covering everything in the slime mold punching and bashing all with there fist and horn uragaans that came close to any of the brutes were punched away or bashed by the horn launching them even harder and bouncing them like ping pong adding to this devastation were the previously aforementioned rajang and deviljho who punched and crashed into the others indiscriminately while still fighting each other the elderly seething bazelgeuse joining the fight and adding more destruction many others like him doing the same.
Within the hoarfrost reach it was not much better the previously aforementioned beotodus and fulger were in a different situation with the fulger now outright mauling the defenseless beotodus and swinging it around like a club the popo were running away from the previously calm banbaro as it charged and bolled over trees without care viper tobis hid within there dens hoping to wether the storm the screeching legiana were now acting wild as being a naturally voilant monster joined the fray fighting either any fulgers or barioths in the area.
throughout the world the monsters raged panicked confused angered frightened and most important of all feared of what was going on with the exceptions of the elder dragons they had their respective abilities ready to go and attack but were also weary they knew this power to an extent it was a power that reminded them of the abomination the ancestral beast said to burn the world and his foul progeny but the white light they knew it well they were favored by its beauty the everstream the lifeblood of there world they wondered what was going on yet as they thought this they tensed when they heard cracks as they gazed upward's they saw a crack in the sky as the lightning continued to strike an unseen force reality seemed to be struggling to stay as it was when finally with a deafening boom and a flash of light the world seems to be consumed in a wave of a kaleidoscope of colors and power drowning everything.
